T.Watts Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 A bit more has been done to the fordson. I have finished welding on the cab, for now at least!!! The cab is now back on the chassis and the radiator from my series 3 landrover has been modified to fit. The radiator is piped up and surprisingly no leaks anywhere. Plan is to fit a kenlowe electric fan as there is no room for the fan from the discovery. just need to pipe up the oil cooler and hopefully fire it up soon!

T.Watts Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Right then the fordson is starting to take shape. The engine is all up and running and I have been for a trundle around the airfield. The electric fan works well and is very quiet. I have made a basic wiring loom up and all the lights etc are working by some kind of miracle! The top half of the cab went on this weekend as well as the doors and wheel arches. Next job is the cambelt. And a mate found it most amusing the position I ended up in wiring up the dash!

Richard Farrant Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 And a mate found it most amusing the position I ended up in wiring up the dash! Geez mate ... never had to do any gymnastics like that when I rewired a WOT6. Just stood beside the front wheel, panel comes out easily.

T.Watts Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Was tidying up some wires behind the dash, it had turned into bit if a birds nest and don't want to rip all wires out with my feet If ever have to hit the brakes in a hurry!!! Wasn't the best position in the world. Also made another bonnet panel up to cover the injection pump Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T.Watts Posted May 7, 2014 Author Share Posted May 7, 2014 Yes the riggers shall be going to Normandy with the truck!! nearly there, painted the cab over the weekend and refitted all of the bonnet panels and the fuel tank/spare wheel carrier. Got the rear body, the seats and a few odd bits left to fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
